Accusing an Honest Man.

occurred at the Smithsonian Institute
in Washington when | was doing duty
there some years ago. In one of the
coin cases there was a rare old Roman
coin, supposed to be the only one in ex-
istence One day gentleman came
with a written order from high official
directing the curator 10 let him take Ine
coin out of the case to examine it. 1t
was placed in his hand and after look
ing at it to his hearts content he re-
turned it, as we thought. to its place in
the case, and turned TO leave the room.
The curator approaching the case to
lock it found that the coin was missing.
He stated the fact to the gentleman.
who Immediately became very red and
indignant. ami declared positively that
he had replaced it, at the same trying
to leave the room. l Intercepted him,
and, being convinced from his conduct
that he had stolen the coin, | insisted
upon searching him. He positively re-
fused to permit this. whereupon the
/ curator and myself, after a hard strug-
gle, succeeded in searching him by
force. and found the coin in one of his

man to Jail, when the curator, who had
gone to restore the coin. stopped me,
returned it to the gentleman, and over
whelmed him with apologies. The poor
man had mislaid the original coin in
the case and had previously purchased
at great expense a similar one. which
We had found in his pocket. His visit
to the institute was for the purpose OF
comparing the two.

The Sun All Right.

The heat of the sun is not increasing.
The researches of the botanist and geo
logist show that the solar radiation of
heat cannot have varied but in very
tritiing degree since the most remote
geological ages-that is, for millions of
years. 1t is estimated that tine measure
of the neat of the sun at its surface is
1900 deg. Fahrenheit. which is five
times the highest temperature man can
produce artificially-equal, in fact. to
what would result from burning each
second mass of coal (of the best quail
tv) 200 miles broad, POO miles long. and
POO miles high-that is. 5000, 900 cCbi"
miles of coal. This would be about l2.-
0JU millions of millions of tons per SCI
ond. 1t will help us 10 imagine what
this means if we consider that the whole
output of our exceptionally coal-pro-
ducing country is but about 10000, 600
of tons per annum. 1t is calculated
that only one 1881 900, 000th part of the
suns heat. reaches us, and. therefore,
the whole amount really passes either
comprehension or calculation, and it is
a vexed question with astronomers rs to
what becomes of the neat that goes of
into space.
